Horizon view
Horizon from Biela J
57.0741° S, 52.8918° E · cell 30ECA
- Highest horizon point
- Biela J: 15.3° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 97°.
- Farthest visible point
- 22.7 km away at azimuth 26°, 4.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,419 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 33.1° high at azimuth 343°, 21.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:34 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
